If we had the luxury of never needing to worry about running out of chips, perhaps we would have passed 🧾 up on the marginal opportunity that faces us in favour of a much stronger situation.

The best decision at a tournament table is always going to take 🧾 into account the effective stacks and the blind-levels. We are interested in how “healthy” our stack is relative to the 🧾 blinds, which will help to dictate our strategy. If only there was a formula we could use to help us 🧾 calculate this...
